Chapter 874: Chapter 849: The Escape
Feng Zhixiao and Da Hei looked serious, their demeanor that of well-trained bodyguards. Bragsky couldn’t determine how powerful the Luo Sijue family really was, but judging from these two formidable bodyguards, a family that could train such powerful bodyguards must possess considerable prowess.
Deep in thought, Bragsky had no idea what to do, so he could only sit down on the sofa. Without hesitation, he took a cigarette from a gold-plated cigarette case and placed it in his mouth, while his assistant hurried to light it up for him. Bragsky smoked elegantly.
The two of them were pretending, acting deep, acting mysterious, acting superior!
"How about we make a deal?" Bragsky smiled at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was taken aback, then smiled understandingly and said, "But, I wonder what kind of deal you want to make?"
"I’ll hand Kong Haoran over to you, and you help me with something!" Bragsky flashed a mysterious smile.
"What is it?" Ye Chen looked at Bragsky with surprise.
"You don’t need to ask what it is, you just need to agree!" Bragsky waved his hand dismissively. Ye Chen frowned and asked doubtfully, "I’m quite curious, is there really something in this world that you, Bragsky, can’t handle? If even you can’t handle it, why do you think I can?"
"Hehe, this matter, only you, Ye Chen, can accomplish it in the whole world!" Bragsky laughed heartily.
"Hmm?" Ye Chen found it increasingly bizarre. What could it be that only I, Ye Chen, could do? Ye Chen looked at the other person in amazement, then asked in surprise, "If you don’t tell me, I won’t agree!"
"If you don’t agree, I won’t hand over Kong Haoran to you!" Bragsky laughed smugly, as a fifty-year-old middle-aged man and a young man in his twenties got serious with one another. Neither would back down, which made Feng Zhixiao and the others on the side watch with interest, wondering when Ye Chen had this childlike side.
"Alright, I can’t win against you, you win, I’ll agree with you!" Ye Chen lowered his head; he truly lost to Bragsky. This old fox, Bragsky, dared to challenge me, but when I deal with Kong Haoran later, I’ll turn my back on you, huh, just wait till then!
Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately showed a wry smile. Bragsky seemed to anticipate that Ye Chen would turn against him and then pulled a recording device from his pocket, grinning, "Ye Clan Leader, these are all your words here, don’t ever turn against me later on!"
"You... alright, you’re ruthless!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth. It’s true, as the old saying goes, ’an old ginger is spicier.’
"Haha..." Bragsky laughed heartily, then said to his assistant on the side, "Go, tell them to bring Kong Haoran!"
"Yes!" The assistant nodded decisively, then turned to make a phone call.
Ye Chen fully expected Kong Haoran’s demise to be imminent. However, much to Ye Chen’s surprise, Bragsky’s assistant brought bad news: somehow, Kong Haoran, upon learning that Ye Chen had arrived in Moscow, immediately left the Chaikefu family headquarters quietly with a group of people.
Kong Haoran was a valued guest of Chaikefu, so family servants couldn’t stop him from going anywhere. Moreover, the guards of the Chaikefu family hadn’t received the order from Bragsky to detain Ye Chen. Therefore, they could only let Kong Haoran’s group leave.
"Gone?!" Ye Chen’s eyes widened, and he stood up from his chair, exclaiming angrily, "You actually let them escape?!"
"Quick, have them give chase, block all roads, absolutely don’t let them get away!" Bragsky immediately stood up.
"Yes!" The assistant quickly nodded, running out while hastily making phone calls.
In Moscow, as snowflakes danced in the air, five or six people were speeding towards the suburbs in a car. The car was very crowded inside. Yun Qi sat in the front passenger seat, Kong Haoran was driving, with four big men squeezed in the back. The car crushed the snow, yellow mud splashed with white snowflakes, causing waves of muddy water. It startled passersby to stagger back.
"Oh, damn it, are they rushing to their deaths?"
"Go to hell, you damn speed demons!"
Passers-by shouted angrily at the silver-gray car, fully demonstrating the wildness and ferocity of the Russians. However, Kong Haoran ignored them completely, as he needed to escape. Ever since learning that Ye Chen had arrived in Moscow, he realized he was in danger. Perhaps now he was an honored guest, but the next moment he might be a prisoner.
"Haoran, where... where are we going?" Yun Qi hurriedly asked from the side.
"To Lithuania, then a flight to Italy!" Kong Haoran gasped heavily, though his heart was thoroughly cold. He could smell a hint of danger in the air, and that smell made him feel extremely uneasy.
"Why are we going to Italy?" Yun Qi was very puzzled, and then said, "Isn’t it fine to stay here in Moscow? Why leave?"
"You don’t understand, Ye Chen has already arrived in Moscow!" Kong Haoran quickly said, "He’s here, which means we’re in danger."
"Ah?!" Yun Qi exclaimed suddenly, and said in disbelief, "Ye Chen... Ye Chen has come to Moscow, could it be... could it be he’s coming for us?"
"Exactly!" Kong Haoran nodded and then said through gritted teeth, "From the moment he arrived, I sensed something was off, so this time I decided to leave immediately. After we leave Moscow, we’ll go to Italy, to seek refuge at the Church Court!"
"Okay!" Yun Qi sighed in relief. However, she always felt uneasy inside. Once, she was Ye Chen’s woman, but she refused to remain lonely and betrayed Ye Chen to become Shen Haotian’s woman. From that moment, she regretted it, because Shen Haotian never viewed her as a person but as a tool for his desires. He treated her as a tool to fulfill his perverted thoughts.
Later, after Shen Haotian died, she followed the Squad Leader, thinking that following a powerful leader would mean peace of mind, but unexpectedly such things happened. The Squad Leader died, and she turned to become Kong Haoran’s woman, becoming a servant of three personalities.
If being with Kong Haoran brought some sense of security, it would be okay, but being with this man gave her no sense of security, rather it often kept her worried over this and that. Now she was still fleeing for her life, and the person pursuing and deceiving her was Ye Chen.
Yun Qi closed her eyes, thinking silently if time could go back, would she still be that sinister, vicious woman? Would she still push Ye Chen off the cliff herself? Her answer was definitely negative. She wished she could undo everything and start afresh. Unfortunately, some things, once they happen, cannot be undone.
"What are you thinking?" Kong Haoran seemed to notice Yun Qi’s abnormality.
"Nothing!" Yun Qi shook her head, her eyes showing an unconcealable tiredness, and then said, "I’m just a bit tired!"
"Since you’re tired, then sleep for a while!" Kong Haoran replied after this, driving swiftly, with several men behind him being high-ups from the Doomsday Family. With them around, it was akin to binding the entire Doomsday Family to his chariot, Kong Haoran relaxed a bit and continued driving.
The blockade in Moscow seemed a little late. Kong Haoran had already driven out of the Moscow suburbs and headed frantically toward Lithuania. It would take several hours from Moscow to Lithuania, and Kong Haoran was fully focused, driving that shiny silver-gray car at high speed down the highway.
After several hours of searching and roadblocking, the Chaikefu family found no abnormalities. To avoid congestion in this thriving city, they had to give up continuing the search and blockade. Bragsky could only apologize to Ye Chen, saying, "Ye Clan Leader, terribly sorry, they’ve escaped!"
"Haha, but people escaped right from your hands!" Ye Chen said with a calm smile.
"Uh..." Bragsky stared at Ye Chen in surprise, not expecting Ye Chen to be so shamelessly blaming him entirely for the escape. Bragsky laughed heartily, saying, "Yes, yes, they did escape from my hands. But, what could I do?"
"Alright, I won’t say much more, hoping for a long-lasting friendship between us!" Ye Chen stood up.
"If I catch Kong Haoran and bring him back to you to deal with, does my condition still stand?" Bragsky asked with a cheerful smile.
"No problem, as long as you bring Kong Haoran to me, your condition still stands!" Ye Chen nodded.
"Great!" Bragsky said excitedly, "There’s an old Chinese saying, ’A gentleman’s word is as good as a whip to a swift horse.’ Haha..."
Clap...
The two men clapped hands as a vow. Subsequently, Bragsky left this estate, but the pursuit of Kong Haoran never ended. Ye Chen also left Moscow the next day, and this journey to Moscow puzzled Feng Zhixiao and Da Hei very much. Nothing was gained, and Kong Haoran also wasn’t captured.
"Brother Chen, this trip was in vain!" Feng Zhixiao said helplessly.
"Haha, this trip wasn’t in vain at all!" Ye Chen laughed heartily.
"Why?" Feng Zhixiao asked curiously, while Da Hei laughed immediately at the side, saying, "I know!"
"Oh, what do you know?!" Feng Zhixiao glared at Da Hei annoyedly.
"Darn, I really know!" Da Hei immediately shouted at Feng Zhixiao, "Brother Chen may have seemed to get nothing this time, but actually got clues and traces of Kong Haoran. How can you say it was in vain?"
"Nonsense, do you need to travel such a long way to get Kong Haoran’s clues and traces?" Feng Zhixiao snorted softly and said, "I could find out with just a phone call. Besides, Brother Chen already knew this guy Kong Haoran had run to Moscow earlier!"
